As with the entire Jalav series, this story has graphic sex (ok by me), but it also has a highly detailed story of the need for women to live to the highest of their capabilities and not settle for someone taking care of them in exchange for a life of comfort. It really deals with putting one's money where one's mouth is in life. If all this reader got out of the storyline was great sex, this reader failed to comprehend the feminist and literary value of what was being written and I would suggest a re-reading of the series.

This book could have been so much better. Yet it was nothing but boring for more than three-fourths of the text. Instead of action and adventure we get Jalav captured and enslaved by Ceralt. And what's worse is Jalav always referring to herself in the third person which got sooo annoying to read and hear!!

Sharon Green could have done so much better with htis concept. If and when I ever write a book about Amazon women, I promise to show them in the strongest light-- both good and bad. This book, however, did nothing of the sort. It meandered and never really told a story. It's a wonder I was even able to complete the rag.

This was the absolute worst, most pathetic excuse for science fantasy I've ever ready. This series is the ONLY one I've ever bought that I traded back in at a used book store and I was hesitant to do that for fear of inflicting it on some other reader. The series misleads you into thinking it's going to be about a strong female protagonist, but is really just an excuse to trot out every tired old "Amazon-warrior-who-really-wants-to-be-a-sex-slave" cliche ever made. Absolute trash!

Part of the Jalav series. Jalav is a warrior queen like Xenaon TV, that periodically finds herself captured and forced to be a sexslave.
